We are on the war path for good roads next winter, and there is no good 1eason why we can’t have them in this township, at least. We have two good graders and with their use at the proper time, which is in the spring and early summer, we can avoid such places as farmers and oth- ers had to pass through to get to Butler; yes, and will avoid it if there is any law to help out in the matter. A day with two or three good teams would have made an excellent good dirt road where we had one of the few years, and all on account of neg- leet and some one to do their duty. Some of our road supervisors failed to work out some of the tax in the time required and such neglect of the roads as was manifested last season should not be permitted to occur again. Can't our township board take the matter in hand and see that those whose duty.it is to look after roads perform that duty. The township has been put to the expense of buy- ing tools for the roads and we all should be interested enough to see GROVER. that they are used. Corniand Items.

U. BRUNER. NOL A CANDIDATE, Col. das. La. Pace Beclines to Make the Race for State Auditor. Rich Hill Review. It will be remembered that the Re- view along time ago suggested the name of Col. Jas. L. Pace, formerly of Bates county (but since Governor Stone’s adminstration, warden of the state penitentiary) for the office of State Auditor of Missouri during the coming eampaign. Since Col. Pace was first named for this position, he has received numerous endorsements by the press of different portions of the state as well as a great many so- licitations from personal friends, There is no doubt whatever but would have had a very large following had he at any time announced his intention of becomi acandidate. Butthishe has pe ently refused todo, The following letter now explains his reasons: STATE OF MISSOURI, OF WARDEN MO. STATE PEN- OFFIC Jas Pack, Warden. R.

CLAIR COUNTY TROUBLE, Pre-Emptory Writ of Mandamus Serv- ed by Deputy Marshal Colt, Kansas City Times, Sth. Peremptory writs of mandamus were served on the judges of St. Clair county yesterday in the famous | bond suit against that county in the ijfederal court, and unless Judges Gill, DeLosier and Alexander at once issue a tax levy to cover the sum due the innocent holders of those bonds, they are mcre than likely to see the inside of a jail instead administering the affairs of their several offices. The service was made at Osceola yesterday by United States deputy marshal Colt, who left Kansas City |secretly Sunday night for that pur- |pose. The judges met yesterday to | make the regular levies for the year, aod were taken entirely unawares. They have been served with man damus papers before, but huve ig nored them entirely. The writs yes- terday permit of no such contempt and unless the court’s orders are complied with, trouble will certainly ensue.
